About this Event
Celebrate the holidays at the French Embassy with a magnificent gala evening with French wine and desserts along with dancing to the Salon Orchestra of Washington. Join us on your own or with friends at the French Embassy, one of the grandest diplomatic venues in DC, for an unforgettable soiree of French wine and desserts along with Viennese music and dance.
A partner or prior dance experience are not needed to attend, as Viennese Waltz lessons will be offered just before the ball followed by dancing to the Salon Orchestra of Washington. You do not need a date to attend as we expect both singles and couples to join us.
Viennese Waltz Lessons Presented on the Day of the Ball: Select ticket that includes the dance lessons! On the same day as the gala, we will present Viennese Waltz lessons right before the ball starts so you can learn how to dance the Viennese Waltz, as it is danced in Vienna. A partner or prior dance experience is not needed to attend so attend on your own or with friends to experience one of the most elegant and romantic dances of all time! The dance lessons will be taught by Herb & Carol Traxler. A Native of Austria, Herbert Traxler with his wife Carol Traxler have taught the Viennese waltz to hundreds of enthusiastic dancers in the DC area at the White House, Smithsonian, & many other venues. Space for the dance lessons is limited so make your reservations early!
